Smarg: Launch Day
Jesse and I have some story presentation and storytelling goals that we have set for this series. For one, we seek to bring you a unique visual aesthetic with colors and line work, made possible with our singular setting on a completely made up world. We hope this approach, combined with a ‘90s comic art style, will deliver a fresh-yet-familiar look to the book.
In addition, we want each issue to stand strong on its own from a narrative perspective. We certainly hope our readers to return to Smarg for issues 2, 3, and beyond; however, each chapter of his story aims for a satisfying conclusion with a little exposition, conflict, climax, and denouement. Worry not—there will be threads spanning a number of books to reward completionists who digest every panel of Smarg, but we think our readers will see every issue as a reasonable jumping on point and an enjoyable standalone reading experience.
This page of paulhallgrencomics.com will serve as a landing point for regular updates on the progress of the story from Jesse and me. Please feel free to stop by again, and consider placing a pre-order to support our work! In the meantime, always feel free to reach out to me at paulhallgrencomics@gmail.com or on my Instragram.
Sincerely,
Paul
